The battle for Kinder Scout
How workers in the industrial English city of Manchester fought for the right to walk in the nearby countryside in their free time.
It's 90 years since hundreds of walkers organised a mass trespass on a mountain in the English Peak District called Kinder Scout. It was a major step in the fight by workers in the northern industrial city of Manchester for access to the surrounding countryside, much of which was in private hands. In 2012, Simon Watts brought together the memories of survivors of the Trespass as recorded in the ±«Óãtv archives.
